TRENTINO SOCIAL TANK SC

descrição da organização

Trentino Social Tank (TST) is a worker cooperative established in 2014 by four young colleagues and with the support of local organisations. Our aim is promoting entrepreneurship, innovation and business development in Trentino with a focus on the welfare and wellbeing sector, although we operate in different branches as well.
TST mainly carries out guidance and training services, in the belief that "business" and "work" are two dimensions that are strongly connected to each other,
TST offers business services in the KIBS area (knowledge-intensive business services) and has already offered its consultancy services to approximately 170 Trentino companies. Since June 2018 we have been included in the list of 18 national incubators with a high social impact as technical partner of Cariplo Factory and the Giordano Dell’Amore Social Venture Foundation. Finally, TST supports municipal administrations in the development of multi-stakeholder projects such as, for example, "Terragnolo che conta" and "Start-up Bersntol", generative welfare projects aimed at setting up community cooperatives.

The "social vocation" of TST can be found right from the Statute of the cooperative, which describes the mission as supporting entrepreneurship, especially in the areas of welfare and well-being, in order ti contribute to the development of a sustainable economy through the knowledge and dissemination of social innovation (...).

Since 2014 we also run a co-working space in the Gardolo district of Trento, mainly hosting freelancers and smart workers from international companies. In March 2020, we moved our co-working to a larger space and now we host 22 workstations in an original context in an historical local shop.
